trietmcam Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Here is a flight of four F-5E from Bien Hoa, RVN. Contrary to beliefs that the Tiger II did not wear checker fuselage band, these four did. The picture was from a news paper clipping in 1972. Sorry for the quality, that's the best I can do. It's been over 30 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Netz Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Those are F-5A's, no F-5E's in VN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trietmcam Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Those are F-5A's, no F-5E's in VN. The upper spine near the tail root of the E's don't blend smooth into the tail like the A's. Plus, the beacon lights near the tail exhaust were only on the E's Regards triet F-5A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If only it would be possible to identify the serials of these F-5Es... Cheers Diego Quote Link to post Share on other sites
